Wave Arts Tube Saturator 2

The Wave Arts Tube Saturator 2 is an accurate circuit simulation of a tube pre-amp with analog EQ. Handling both gentle warming effects and fat distortion with rich harmonic content, the Tube Saturation 2 captures every nuance of an analog circuit. Wave Arts has meticulously converted the effect of individual tubes, resistors, and capacitors into a mathematical processing system that is designed to produce the exact same sound as a real circuit.

Whereas the original Tube Saturator used large amounts of CPU power to operate in real-time, TS-2 uses large tables of pre-computed solutions. Tube Saturation runs about 7x faster, with even more accurate modelling. What's more, TS-2 includes the original circuit simulation of the three-band Bxandall-style EQ that is common in guitar amplifiers.

Explore a wealth of saturation potentials with the many features of TS-2. Switch between 12AX7 and 12AU7 tubes for different harmonic characteristics. Run the EQ either pre or post-saturation. Use a 2x oversampling mode, with a high-quality resampling algorithm, to attenuate aliased distortion harmonics. There's more on offer, including a mix control, and an all-around attractive and intuitive interface.
